EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Ecstasy of St Francis of Paola" painted by the renowned Venetian artist Giovanni Battista (Gianbattista) Tiepolo. Known for his exceptional talent, Tiepolo beautifully captures the essence of this religious scene. In the painting, we see St Francis, a Calabrian hermit and founder of the Minim Friars, depicted in a state of divine ecstasy. His eyes are closed as he transcends into a spiritual realm, completely immersed in prayer and contemplation. The delicate halo above his head signifies his saintly status and connection to God. St Francis is dressed in the traditional habit of the Christian monastic order he established. Clutched tightly in one hand is a rosary, symbolizing devotion to prayer and meditation. In his other hand rests a staff, representing guidance and leadership within his religious community. Tiepolo's masterful brushstrokes bring an ethereal quality to this artwork. The colors are vibrant yet serene, creating an atmosphere that evokes both awe and tranquility. Through this piece, Tiepolo invites viewers to witness St Francis' profound spiritual experience. This print from Universal Images Group (UIG) offers us an opportunity to appreciate not only Tiepolo's artistic brilliance but also the enduring legacy of St Francis as an inspirational figure within Christianity.
